Operating vs. Capital Budgets

  • Operating budget (March) and a Capital Plan & Budget (May)
  • An Operating Budget represents the annual expenditure

plan for the board, supporting student learning and board

  • perations.
  • The Capital budget is a plan for addressing growth and

retrofitting school facilities.

  • In March, the Board will vote on the full operating budget for

the 2015-16 school year.

  • Similar process to the 2014-15 budget cycle.
  • Goal of new approach is to provide a complete financial plan

for well in advance of the start of the school year.

School-Based Staff Allocation

slide-13
SLIDE 13

School-Based Staff Allocation Process

The critical path for school-based staff allocation includes:

  • Finalization of school-based staffing in early-March; and
  • Allocation of school-based teachers and support staff to

schools in mid-March. These timelines are necessary in order to provide schools with sufficient time to comply with collective agreements (i.e., school

  • rganization model and declaration of surplus).

13

School-Based Staffing

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Guiding Principles for the Staff Allocation Process

  • Board decisions.
  • Collective agreements.
  • Legislation and regulations.
  • Changing Ministry of Education program requirements.
  • Student enrolment – which is the principle driver of staff

allocation for most categories.

Proposed Options to Balance

  • Transcript Fees
  • Recommendation is to increase the fee for a student transcript to $24

(maximum allowed under regulation). Currently the school board charges $22 for one copy and $5 per additional copy. Last year the Board issued approximately 16,000 transcripts to students. The increase of $2 would represent approximately $32,000 of additional revenue to the Board. Below is a listing of what school boards charge for transcripts.

33 Fee Structure for Request for Transcripts

BOARD ONE COPY ADDITIONAL COPIES Toronto DSB $22.00 $5.00 Toronto CDSB $22.00 $5.00 Durham DSB $10.00 $20.00 up to a maximum Halton DSB $20.00 for two $5.00 Halton CDSB School level not consistent but seems around $10.00 Ottawa Carlton DSB $24.00 $5.00 Peel DSB $20.00 $5.00 Dufferin-Peel CDSB $20.00 graduates prior to September 2009 $5.00 Waterloo DSB $15.00 $5.00 York Catholic $25.00 $5.00 York Region DSB $25.00 $5.00 Kawartha-Pine DSB Does not charge

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Parking Fees
  • There has been an opportunity identified to establish Toronto Parking

Authority (TPA) parking lots on school sites that reside in key areas within the downtown core. TPA has indicated that similar operating lots generate substantial revenue on an annual basis. The advantage

  • f partnering with TPA is that we would access zoning exemptions

available to the TPA and utilize their expertise in managing parking

  • lots. The proposal would have the potential of generating an

estimated $100,000 in revenue in the start-up year and would increase in future years. Efforts will be made to ensure the impact to students evening and weekend events are minimized, if possible.

34

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • International Partnership – CIS Vietnam School
  • The Board signed a consultancy agreement with CIS Vietnam school

to provide staff recruitment, curriculum and e-learning services to

  • them. These services will be provided by existing staff, thereby

bringing additional funds to the board without incurring any significant additional costs.

  • The projected revenue improvement to the Board is $1,000,000US
  • ver the 3 year agreement. For 2014-2015, the agreement provides

for approximately $330,000US in consultancy fees to be paid in 3

  • installments. To date, revenue improvement to the Board is

approximately $200,000.

35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Central Department Operating expenditures
  • A review of the historical spending in central departments based on

the last three year averages has identified approximately $3.5M of

  • savings. Based on this analysis department budgets would be set at

the lesser of the prior year budget or the three year average.

  • Transportation
  • The method and calculations for the allocation of student

transportation costs between the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Catholic District School Board will be reviewed to ensure that expenses incurred by the TDSB are reflective of the services delivered to our students. These costs include the home to school, school to school transportation costs, as well as the allocation of costs for administration of the consortium. This has been an ongoing issue but worth investigating for equity and savings.

36

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Facility Services continues to make use of the GPS systems installed in all

maintenance and construction vehicles to improve productivity and scheduling of work. This has resulted in saving in fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses of more than $100,000. Effective scheduling and bundling of work orders has resulted in more ”time on tools” Increased effectiveness of in-house trades staff will reduce the need to use contractors for overflow work

  • Other initiatives to increase savings include:
  • Introduction of a centralized phone in line for trades staff to obtain PO reducing time

spent on procurement and ensure that TDSB obtains best pricing from vendors through use of SAP procurement contracts

  • Maximization of use of truck stock best practices to reduce procurement time and take

advantage of savings from increased standardization

  • As these new processes continue to be implemented and improved, and

with full implementation of the Phase 2 Telematics project , additional savings of approximately $1M will be achieved in 2015-2016

37

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Special Education
  • The Ministry during the GSN announcement for 2014-2015 funding
  • utlined a four year phase-in of a change to the High Needs

Allocations (HNA) within the Special Education funding. The HNA funding is has been reduced in 2014-2015 by $7.3M. To date the Ministry has not confirmed what the next three years funding reduction will be. As part of the forecast for 2015-2016, staff estimated a further reduction of $5M.

  • As a result of the reduction in 2014-2015 the Special Education

department has reviewed their staffing and recommended changes to reconfigure services to students amounting to $4.5M. These changes will realize the required savings while still maintaining effective student programs.

38

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Continuing & International Education
  • Over the past three years, the department has undertaken an

assessment of programs to ensure they are staffed according to student enrolment levels while being delivered effectively in order to meet the diverse and evolving needs of our communities. As a result, staffing structures have been amended to provide a more effective and efficient model of support. Beginning in 2015-16, an ESL Site Manager position is being eliminated through attrition. Responsibilities will be shared among all site tenants. Savings anticipated of approximately $0.1M

  • Based on growth in international student enrolments, a $1M increase

in revenue net of commissions for 15-16 is projected.

39

slide-40
SLIDE 40

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Outdoor Education
  • Utilization of prior year carryover ($0.6M) and operational budget

savings($0.2M).

  • Permits
  • Under the Canada Elections Act, the Board can charge the federal

government for the use of premises as polling stations for the federal

  • election. With the anticipated federal election in the fall, and using

information from the election in 2011, we project approximately $200,000 revenue for the use of our facilities.

Proposed Options to Balance (con’t)

  • Information Technology Services
  • TDSB currently has a project underway to increase Wi-Fi Access points

across the Board. The Implementation of system-wide Wi-Fi in classrooms that currently do not have access to wireless networking began in the fall of 2014. CODE funding of 1.8M will be used to allow TDSB to achieve its goal of increasing the number of access points in schools across the district to support TDSB’s EDuTECH Strategy for the modern Digital Classroom.

  • Executive Offices
  • Reduction in Executive office costs of $200,000
